Get Out Of the Real Estate Business If You Can't Deliver Service!

By
Real Estate Agent with Re/Max Signature

WorldReal estate is not just a job for our team! Service is the name of the game and that's what we deliver. We have a lot of fun and get to meet people from all over the world who become our friends for life! We are happy to say that a lot of our business comes from referrals, friends and family!

Another great source of business for us is the internet! What would we do without the internet? As I am writing to you this morning I am responding to a lady who contacted us approximately a year ago from New Jersey. Shirley and her husband, Bob, initially found Team Gagliardi on the internet under Port Orange Homes and Port Orange Real estate . Shirley emailed me indicating she and her husband were in the process of putting their home on the market in New Jersey and they were moving here to be closer to their son who also lives locally.

She and her husband were very upfront and told me they were not going to buy now but wanted me to drive them around and show them the Port Orange area homes. I made a plan and picked them up and we saw a few homes so they could see what was on the market for under $200K. .....their price range. I already had a pre approval letter from their lender in hand. We enjoyed each others company very much and after having toured the area I brought them back to their son's home. That night she called me and thanked me for my time and consideration.

Shirley has been receiving automatic email updates of new listings and price changes in the Port Orange area. I have also responded to email questions regarding taxes, insurance and legal matters.

We have been in touch now via email for the past 9 months and just last week Shirley called to inform me that their New Jersey home was under contract and their closing date is Oct.31st!! Due to time constraints, Shirley is arriving this Wednesday without her husband as Bob just had surgery. She told me that they need to close on a house in approximately 6 weeks!! There are 22 Port Orange homes in her price range that she has identified online using our Wolfnet Home Search so we are on a mission this week to find them a home. Most homes she identified are vacant so we can quickly tour these homes easily and not be pressured with keeping on time for appointments!!

AirportI will be picking Shirley up from the airport this Wednesday and we will proceed on our marathon home search. Shirley has concerns about closing her home in New Jersey and here in Port Orange simultaneously. I explained to her that it is not uncommon to have property close in the morning and then close on a purchase in the afternoon!
